Longoria Parker signs on as producer of S.A. TV show

Eva Longoria Parker is the new co-executive producer of a San Antonio TV show built around comic Cleto Rodriguez.

The “Desperate Housewives” star and wife of our Spur (Tony Parker) recently joined the Cevallos Brothers (movie “Barbacoa,” TV series “The Brothers Garcia”) on their new program, “The Cleto Show” — a locally shot hybrid of sitcom, reality show and talk show. The local Fox affiliate has picked up the show for late-night airing.

The show’s first season premieres May 16. It will air every two weeks at 11:30 p.m. Saturdays on KABB (Fox 29) and will re-air on sister station KMYS at 11 p.m. Sundays.

Gibby Cevallos sent me a quote from Parker, who makes her home both here and Los Angeles: “I believe that there is a lot of talent in front of and behind the camera in San Antonio,” Eva said. “The Cevallos Brothers are the perfect examples of this. They are two of the most talented writers, producers and directors and I am thrilled at the opportunity to invest in their vision and talent.”

Wow. Naturally, co-executive producers/writers/directors Gibby and Mickey are thrilled to have Eva and her financial strength and Hollywood contacts behind their show.

“The Cleto Show,” which has been cut down from the pilot’s hour to a bi-weekly half-hour, follows Rodriguez to various S.A. locations as he tries to find material and interview subjects for his dream. . . a TV talk show.

Gibby said these on-location portions will be shot in San Antonio. The producers will intermingle Hollywood celeb appearances with local names for the interview/performance portions of the show.

According to Gibby, the talk show portions will be filmed in the Cameo Theater.

Producers will travel to San Antonio next week, to gear up for lots of f Fiesta segments starring Cleto. So, watch out, revelers, there may be a crazy comedian in your midst!

One more thing: Cevallos promises that some pre-show webisodes, featuring Rodriguez and other castmembers, will be up on the show’s website by Friday.
